Exploration of"Mouthpiece Theory":A Reconsideration of Guo Chaoren's Thoughts on Journalism

作为新中国培养的第一代名记者,郭超人有关新闻工作的论述始终与中国社会主义的发展建设有着紧密联系。44年的记者生涯中,郭超人写下了诸多令世人瞩目的名作,亦探索出了一系列适用于社会主义中国的新闻理论。面对改革开放初期国内外新闻界对“喉舌论”和党性原则的质疑,郭超人于1997年出版了《喉舌论》一书,兼顾理论与实践两个层面,廓清了包括新华社在内的党媒的属性、功能与责任。本文基于《喉舌论》文本以及前人研究成果,结合马克思主义新闻观的时代语境,从新闻业的性质与功能观、新闻采编观、媒介经营管理观和新闻教育观四个维度,系统总结郭超人新闻工作论述的核心观点。
